Atlético Madrid has temporarily taken over second place in LaLiga from fellow townsman Real. The team of coach Diego Simeone was 3-0 too strong for Osasuna in their own Civitas Metropolitano. Yannick Carrasco, Saúl Ñíguez and Ángel Correa ensured the comfortable victory. Memphis Depay was missing from the match selection due to an injury. Atlético now has one point more and played one game more than Real Madrid.

Particularities
It took almost a half, but Atlético managed to break the spell just before the break. Los Colchoneros suddenly got a lot of space and so Antoine Griezmann was played in complete freedom. The Frenchman steamed towards goal and tapped wide on Carrasco, who took the 1-0. Fifteen minutes after the break, Ñíguez decided the game beautifully. The midfielder took a pass from Carrasco to his chest, after which the ball landed perfectly in front of his right. With a hard shot in the short corner, he left Osasuna goalie Sergio Herrera completely without a chance. Ten minutes before the end, Correa put the icing on the Madrid cake. Rodrigo De Paul gave way to Correa, who passed Herrera in the short corner with a low shot.
